There&#8217;s a market out there. The whole pressure on the supply chain is of course something we&#8217;re not happy with,&#8221; Elbers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India, expected to become the world&#8217;s third-largest economy by 2030, is the fastest-growing civil aviation market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/2022\/10\/indigo-recibe-su-primer-airbus-a321p2f.html\">IndiGo recibe su primer Airbus A321P2F<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IndiGo, India&#8217;s biggest airline with more than 50% share of the market, has seen a resurgence in domestic and international demand with its capacity doubling over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the short-term, IndiGo is meeting some of this demand by extending leases on existing planes and working with partners like Turkish Airlines, which has rented IndiGo a large jet complete with crew to fill international capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IndiGo also has an order book of 500 aircraft, including A321 XLRs, which would give the airline &#8220;a steady flow&#8221; of deliveries until the end of the decade, Elbers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IndiGo is in talks to place a new order for more than 500 jets, including widebody planes &#8211; marking a shift from its single-aisle strategy, sources earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
